Rafael Nadal hits the gym with Flavia Pennetta

Both Flavia Pennetta and Rafael Nadal who missed the Australian Open are training together in Barcelona as both continue to rehab from their injuries.

Pennetta who is recovering from a wrist injury tweeted pictures of them working out in a gym. Meanwhile, Nadal who is expected to return to clay court in South America has not played since June last year due to a knee injury. Both of them were consulted by the same doctor.

And if you haven't know yet, Pennetta used to date Carlos Moya, Nadal's mentor and long time friend.

Redfoo in Melbourne to support Victoria Azarenka

Redfoo, the American singer/DJ and one half of LMFAO is at Melbourne Park today to support defending champion Victoria Azarenka.

Although there's no official announcement about their relationship, he came close to admitting that the pair are an item. But who cares about whether they admit it or not. The pictures and his presence at Azarenka's matches tell it all. After the pictures, check out the YouTube where he talks about falling in love. You can tell that he is quite head over heels in love.

They were in Hua Hin recently for an exhibition match that featured Azarenka and Li Na
